Someone suggested that I move this post to here. I hope you don't mind. 
First, Hello everyone.
I got this rifle to feed my reloading hobby. I've had it for only a couple of days. The rifle is two months old. A young man bought it, and couldn't get into shooting it, so I traded an AR that I had for it, we traded even. I had $700 invested in the AR.
I was going to write a brief review of the Savage 10FP at the range today, but it kind of reviewed itself. I let a few people shoot it at 100 meters, the longest post at the range I go to. Everybody got a bullseye. Isn't that enough said? As one man showed up, we walked down to the targets, I had to put some black pasties over my bullet hole. (yes 1 hole, probably 25 shots at a that time. It took 2 pasties to get the ragged hole.
He said,"You must be shooting for fun, because you sure don't need any practice." Now, I never think of myself as a great shooter,not by any stretch, so, compliments like this from strangers mean a lot to me.
Of the three other people that shot it. One man wants to buy one asap. They really liked it. It does not happen often, but today, I had the most accurate rifle at the range, with the Savage. It felt good to have a very accurate rifle, and I can tell that this is going to be fun to do.
Recoil is almost non-existant, thanks to the heavy barrel and the 1 1/2 or 2 pounds of birdshot that I put in the hollow area of the stock. The Simmons 6.5x20x44 scope was good enough for me today. It may not have been my first choice, but it was on the rifle when I got it.
I shot from a rest, but it always seemed to be a little high. I was not real comfortable for some of the shooting, my groups went to about an inch on a few rounds. I re-arranged everything, and got down to 1/2 inch consistantly. i had a few called flyers, some wind, but I was pretty happy. A bipod is on my must have list. I'm off to explore the rest of the forum. Nice to meet you. - Ted
